Apple secures another countrywide ban on Samsung phones
(Read article summary)Samsung and Apple, the two most popular smart phone manufacturers in the world, have been butting heads over a series of patents. The latest victory, courtesy of a Dutch court, goes to Apple.
Apple has won the latest battle in its long-simmering war with Samsung.
On Wednesday, a court in The Netherlands ruled that a scrolling feature used in Samsung's mobile software infringed upon a key Apple patent, and ordered Samsung to halt sales on a range of Galaxy smartphones and tablets.
"The ban only applies to Galaxy products that run Android 2.2.1 and higher that don't use Samsung's proprietary photo gallery software," IDG News reported.
The patent in question allows users to flick, pinch, and scroll their way through images saved onto Samsung devices.
